I have a divx that is 713mb and 93minutes long(according to VD and its properties) I used Fitcd v1.05 and made a script to put it on one 74min cd. I set it for vcd 350x240, and checked the file predication box.
I opened up tmpgn, loaded the LBR template and hit encode. The resulting mpeg was 912mb, not the size I expected. I have tried this three times so far and it hasnt worked once for me. Am i missing something here? Should I be manuall changing the .95 in the script to something higher or lower? Heres the script I used. Thanks for any and all help.

IL = Framecount / 100 # interval length in frames
SL = round(Framerate) # sample length in frames
SelectRangeEvery(IL,SL)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/Framerate)/100) * (MPEG sample file size * .95) ##

Hi jrv331,

Did you change the CQ_VBR value until you got the expected sample size
Are you following the procedures detailed in the links in Q-9 here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68

Kwag,
I didnt change any values in the template. I thought by using fitcd and the lbr template it would fit. I am I supposed to be changing the CQ value to get the file size I want. If so then that explains a lot. I did see the faq and question 9. I teied the kvcd predicator,but I dont get the resulting file size box(very bottom one). When I filled out all the info it came back with something like 71.23mb
Thanks
for al the help, and sorry to be posting so much but Im getting very frustraited by all this.
